KURAMBON WINERY

Brewery: Kurambon Wine Co., Ltd.

Founded: 1913

The name “Kurambon” comes from a mysterious word spoken by a crab in Kenji Miyazawa’s fairy tale “Yamanashi”. The winery chose it in tribute to Miyazawa’s themes of harmony with nature, the limits of science, and compassion.

Kurambon Wine embodies the balance between Katsunuma’s vineyards and nature, built through collaboration with the local community. Its goal is to make regional grapes like Koshu and Muscat Bailey A a familiar part of daily meals and Japanese food culture

Made from 100% carefully selected Koshu grapes from Katsunuma, this wine was slowly fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, then blended with barrel-fermented wine before bottling. The aroma is complex and layered, featuring notes of Japanese citrus fruits such as kabosu, yuzu, daidai, quince, and grapefruit, accented by a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it offers fresh, citrus-like fruit flavors with vibrant acidity and a hint of pleasant bitterness, all in excellent balance. The fruit and oak aromas continue to evolve on the palate, adding depth and dimension. This wine emphasizes harmony between fruit and oak, aiming to express the natural character of the Koshu variety as purely as possible.
